Aspects of ABJM orbifolds

Berenstein, David, Romo, Mauricio

Understand

We study abelian and non-abelian orbifolds of the ABJM model.

We compute the precise moduli space of these models by analyzing the classical BPS equations for the theory on the cylinder, which include classical solutions of magnetic monopole operators.
These determine the chiral ring of the theory, and thus they provide the complete set of order parameters determining the classical vacua of the theory.
We show that the proper quantization of these semiclassical solutions gives us the topology of moduli space, including the additional quotient information due to the Chern-Simons levels.
